Do you have anyone in your family that is a truck driver, they earn a living by driving a semi truck I actually don't, but I have a friend that does! It's a tough job. The hours are really long and driving the truck is a lot more exhausting than it looks. Although they do provide an essential service by transporting goods and raw materials over land - They do. It's a very important job! Don't you need a special license to do it? In the US, I believe they need a CDL License - and part of that is that they are responsible for inspecting their vehicle for issues related to safe operation. Ahh makes sense. Safety is very important. I would think they needed specialized training too, parking a semi truck can't be easy!

An optical effect called Tyndall scattering explains blue eyes. Distant objects appear more blue because of another optical effect called aerial perspective. Blue has been an important colour in art and decoration since ancient times. The semi-precious stone lapis lazuli was used in ancient Egypt for jewellery and ornament and later, in the Renaissance, to make the pigment ultramarine, the most expensive of all pigments. In the eighth century Chinese artists used cobalt blue to colour fine blue and white porcelain. In the Middle Ages, European artists used

Ultramarine was the finest and most expensive blue used by Renaissance painters. It was often used for the robes of the Virgin Mary, and symbolized holiness and humility.
